I've heard about it.
It's near MBC intersection, not far to Dong-Daegu train station.
Are you planning on studying there or teaching?
If it this is the same place that I'm thinking of, then they do have classroom space to operate a small hagwon.
They operate English camps during vacation periods.
That's all I know. |

when are you looking to start? do you know if it is a chain of schools or is the daegu the only one?
do you know what the work environment is like? is it an enjoyable place to work? |

I am looking to start as soon as possible I suppose. It is not a chain of schools, Daegu is the only one as far as I can tell, after some google search I discovered that ICAS is a nonprofit organisation. http://www.idealist.org/if/ioc/en/av/Org/127332-26
i am not sure about the work environment or how enjoyable it is however the person I was in contact with stayed 2 years. |

That is interesting that it is a non-profit organization. I wonder how much of the teaching is based on american history, culture, etc.
Are you applying directly to the school or using a recruiter? are you in korea now? any previous teaching experience? |

directly through the school, no recruiter, not in korea, in canada.
and this is my first time teaching, apart from coaching soccer and tutoring here in Hamilton. (although i'm also an alternate for the JET programme, but i'm sick of waiting) |
